OK, I will be completely blunt. The idea of creating a list of goals for the year outside of what has been defined in a professional capacity (i.e. 'the day job says you need to make x number of customer success plans and hold y number of meeting') has me in the following mood: Crow… Continue reading Welcome to 2024 – A To-Do List

Shifts, Changes, and Doubts
I've been looking over the last year. Had two new additions to the Publications Credits page. hey add to my catalog stories people can get to support small press (and small authors ^_^) which is not a small thing at all. I've shifted the focus of my photography to landscapes, and images like this one:… Continue reading Shifts, Changes, and Doubts
Who did I think I would be? Who am I now?
Re-aligning expectations. Sounds like corporate double-talk. A nice way to say, "yeah, we're firing everyone," without saying it. But I have to re-align myself in a few ways. One involves my photography. I had dreams of taking photographs like Helmut Newton or 11MileBay: Moody, strange, erotic and monochromatic. Instead, circumstances brought me here: I… Continue reading Who did I think I would be? Who am I now?
Beauty in the Ruins
Before I jump in, A.J. Harris' new short story is out in the world. You can order copies of the Silver Soldiers anthology at Delilah Dawson's website here. It's got 86 reviews so far! Guess there's an interest in these types of tales. Now, on to Hell House - or the ruins of the St.… Continue reading Beauty in the Ruins
2023: ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU
Fun fact: Apparently, the film Zardoz takes place in the year 2023. What are my ambitions for this year then? Work out enough to look good in an orange diaper? Likely not. My first goal will be survival. 2023 promises to be a chaotic year in the day job. I expect it will take much… Continue reading 2023: ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU
Looking For Light in Winter
I have to remind myself: Good things happened this year. My short story was featured in the NOIR anthology from Zombies Need Brains. A.J. Harris was accepted into two more anthologies, scheduled for publication this year. I spoke at the World Science Fiction convention about ghosts and Noir. While there, I reconnected with a book-club… Continue reading Looking For Light in Winter
November’s Chill
This will be a quick one - to be honest, the last month has been a little rough. In addition to dealing with the knock-on effects of COVID-19 and a follow-up infection, my cat Adia has been unwell. Just this month, he was diagnosed with Renal Lymphoma. He's been losing weight, and I've had to… Continue reading November’s Chill
Biomechanoid Blues: The Playlist!
Yes, I have a video blog! I've been trying to create updates once a month, usually corresponding with blog entries. If you do want to see the whole series, here's the playlist on YouTube: You've got everything from my first year title cards, to different episodes, to the latest episode... featuring my cats. Please,… Continue reading Biomechanoid Blues: The Playlist!
Them There Video Blogs and Wut
Well, I've done it. I've created a video blog with ONE WHOLE VIEW since the premier. Want to see it? The photographs are mine and, yes, mostly from various Awkward Author contests. I figure, if I can't make fun of myself I have no business being on YouTube. The video itself was edited using ShotCut,… Continue reading Them There Video Blogs and Wut
Pulling Me Back In
I’ve got two big side-hustles right now. The first is writing and the second, neglected somewhat, is photography. (Even further down is film and video work – but we’ll get to that in a sec). Recently, thanks to a generous gift, I’ve gotten a Nikon Z6. And I’ve been learning how to use it from… Continue reading Pulling Me Back In
